Rock Hill, S.C.-based Springs Creative Products Group LLC’s Specialty Products division — a
supplier of fabrics and chemicals, including Firegard® flame-barrier fabrics, to the mattress
industry — and Devan Chemicals NV, a Belgium-based provider of sustainable surface treatment
technologies for home, apparel and technical textiles applications — have announced a rebranding of
Devan Chemicals that includes an updated logo and website.

Springs Creative has represented Devan Chemicals in the United States since the two companies
formed a strategic partnership in 2010. Devan Chemicals’ textile treatment technologies include
antimicrobial, shrink-resistant, stain-release, flame-retardant, stretch recovery,
moisture-management and thermoregulation, among other technologies.

In other company news, Springs Creative and Devan Chemicals have signed an exclusive
agreement with Latexco US Holdings — a Lavonia, Ga.-based manufacturer of latex foam components for
the bedding industry — for application of Devan Chemical’s Thermic™ thermoregulation phase-change
materials technology on latex for the North American market. Latexco now will add Thermic to all
products made at its Lavonia plant. Previously, application of Thermic to latex was exclusive to
production in Europe.
